@ktoddbrown@social.coop @SteveBellovin@infosec.exchange There aren't very many advantages to being my age, but at the moment, being closer to a respectable retirement age than to the beginning is definitely one of them.

@mattblaze@federate.social @ktoddbrown@social.coop I had a lot of reasons for retiring when I did, some of them very personal, but everything and anything to do with grants was pretty high on the list. Grants are why I didn't become an academic straight from grad school, and the reality when I moved, 22 later, was even worse than I had expected. But oh, I love students. (I have several ongoing research projects with former students.)
